Couple caught drink-driving three times

An Australian couple in Port Melbourne were collectively booked for drink-driving three times in just over 6 hours Sunday morning (local time).

Police say a 37-year-old man was originally caught driving over the legal drinking limit shortly after midnight.

He blew a 0.129 when stopped in Montague street, says ABC News.

His female companion then took over driving duties but returned a reading of 0.112 when the car was pulled over a second time in the same street just over an hour later.

The couple was stopped a third time in Montague street at about 3.00am, say police.

This time the male had resumed driving duties, reports Sky News Australia.
